William Hill Lingfield Derby Trial Stakes (Listed Race) (Colts & Geldings)

Attractively bred colt, by Ghaiyyath out of a Sea The Stars mare; has shown solid promise, having been placed at Newmarket in sole 2yo start then successful at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on reappearance; goes up in grade looking open to further progress; possibilities.

Justified favouritism at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on seasonal debut but was unable to defy a penalty in the Southwell race won by Nightime Dancer; fitting of headgear needs to prompt improvement.

Sandown maiden winner at two; perhaps didn't entirely handle Epsom in the Blue Riband Trial (1m2f, good) on reappearance but still ran well on bare figures and shaped as if this extra yardage will suit; remains of interest.

The only runner who brings Group form, having finished fourth in the Royal Lodge and the Ballysax since winning a maiden at the Galway Festival; latest effort received a second boost when the runner-up (from same yard) landed the Chester Vase on Wednesday; duly top on ratings.

Frankel colt whose solid novice record comprises a debut win at Newcastle (1m, AW) and two second-place finishes, beaten only a neck at Haydock (11.5f, good) switched to turf latest; something to find on ratings but may do better still.
